Similar to what I said in some thread about fanboys, much of the trolling and flaming this thread is about is the result of a knee-jerk reaction to something and not having any impulse control. There is nothing wrong with trolling or flaming as long as they are done constructively, well-written, and make valid points. this indicates that you have thought something out. the problem is, too many flamers just see something they don't like ("BioShock sucks") and instead of thinking ("I take exception to your opinion and find it lacking in supporting evidence. Care to qualify your statement?") they just start pounding on their keyboard ("no, you suck! you clearly don't know a good thing from a stick up your ass!").
